    2nd battery to fight voltage spikes help!

    I'm fused with 160a at the block in the back on the sub amp and 60a on the 4ga CCA thats connected to mids/highs amp so I know I'm not pulling a ton of amperage yet or I think I would be blowing fuses. I am curious as to what it is pulling currently and will be picking up a clamp meter to see...

    2nd battery to fight voltage spikes help!

    Thank you, I'll check my terminals. I did just replace some kicker terminals I was using temporarily with knu konfused positive and negative terminals last week but never double checked them after clamping them down the first time. The battery is a year old and is always above 12.8v and as high...

    2nd battery to fight voltage spikes help!

    DC Power and I'm using a Fluke12 meter set to record min/max. I also use torque app and it shows a max over 17v as well. I'm also getting a minimum of 10.5v at the fused distribution block in the back with the fluke and 11.7v min in torque. This is at highway speeds 65+.

    2nd battery to fight voltage spikes help!

    The Sony amp has been going into protect randomly when heavy bass hits, since upgrading the alt and wiring, and comes right back on within a few seconds.

    2nd battery to fight voltage spikes help!

    DC Power and not really the battery itself, more that the battery is just too small for a 270amp alt and I don't see many examples of people running a 270a alt with a single group 35 battery so I couldn't argue. He just thought that a larger capacity of storage might smooth out the spikes. A...

    2nd battery to fight voltage spikes help!

    So I installed a new 270 amp alt and I'm getting 17.8v spikes at the battery and 17.5 at the amps. I'm being told that the g35 bosch plat agm under the hood is not cutting it. It's my only battery and I was not planning to add any others because I don't play the system hard with the engine off...

    Subwoofer Getting Smelly After about 10 mins of playing

    I had pretty close to the same set up. 2500.1dz on a stock 90amp alt @2ohms on a single hdc3.1 12 with a bosch agm under the hood. Set the gain with dd-1 and marked where -5 and -10 were on my volume knob, I mostly play rebassed and hip hop at -10 for 30min 2-4 times a day and can barely warm...
